Merry Christmas!

Paper or Plastic?

The other night, Nate and I were at Brad and Claire's to play games. Before we got started, Brad showed us his new Nintendo DS. (I think that's what it's called...) Anyway the more he showed us, the more I wanted one and kept saying so to Nate. You can use the stylus to write notes and doodle and if you are in the same room with someone else who has one, you can send these notes to each other. (Brad later demonstrated this feature by scrawling out, "Penny smells bad!" What a lovely brother.) Again, I greedily said to Nate, "I really want one!"
He muttered, "Why? You can do the same thing with a pencil and paper!"

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We put up our tree on Sunday! We also put lights around the front windows along with those fake candles. We still have a little more that we want to do in the front yard, then we'll see if we can get a picture. But that might be tricky, so don't get your hopes up.
